Re: LDN, Prednisone, Urticaria

JOYCE - i would definitely wean off the prednisone. if for no other reason - for my own personal health!! it does so much destruction to the body!! i know, i was steroid-dependent for 8 yrs., and ended up with 3 more steroig-induced diseases, than i started out with!! it did help with the painful issues accompanying crohn's disease, but that was all. i'm sure it helped eliminate some of the inflammation; as it is an anti-inflammatory!! but, sincerely wish i could have taken something other that prednisone!! i don't think it should be taken i high doses with LDN! imho

Ann,

are you allergic to something that is giving you hives? Do you have

any other conditions? I was on pred for toooo long because of

uticaria only to find out that uticaria is an " occult " symptom

of ulcerative colitis. The pred masked the colitis until I was put

on antibiotics and went into my first flare. I plan to start LDN on

Monday.

I haven't found anything yet. Blood tests are fine. Seeing allergists

for over a year. Nothing else helps.

Nina,

I had chronic hives for months a few years ago and saw many doctors, allergists, etc. No one was able to help me, in spite of numerous allergy medicines being prescribed. Finally a doctor told me the hives were not caused by me being allergic to what I was eating, it was that I wasn’t properly DIGESTING what I was eating in the first place. He prescribed digestive enzymes for me, and the hives were gone in 24 hours. I take them every time I eat and have not had a problem since then. Find yourself a good, broad spectrum digestive enzyme and give it a try.

Judy,

this makes so much sense regarding my own dx. I am going to get

some digestive enzymes today, if I can. Can I find them in a health

food store?

Yes, you should be able to find them there. Be sure to get ones that work for a variety of different foods, and take them every time you eat. If they don’t work, take more of them or switch to another brand. I use American Biologics Inf-Zyme and it works well. I take 3 every meal, and some between meals to help with inflammation.
